This edition of Hieronymus Bock’s Kreutterbuch is bound in contemporary blind-stamped pigskin over wooden boards. Two clasps and one catch, also contemporary, remain affixed to the binding. The book’s title is stamped in black on the cover.
The binding is decorated with blind-stamped flowers and plants. Many of the other stamps are human figures with generic Christian phrases: “Spes, Fides, and Charitas”; “Apparuit benignitas”; “Data est mihi omnis p[otestas]”; “Ecce agnus dei qui tol[lit]”; “[Benedictum] Fructu[m] ventris tu[i].” Several of the stamps appear identical to stamps used by the court binder Jakob Krause, who worked in Dresden.
